May is when the official Confederate Memorial Day is observed in North Carolina and in conjunction with that holiday the focus of the May 4, 2013 Walk Thru Asheboro’s Past at the Old City Cemetery will be on Confederate Veterans. An honor guard will be provided by members of Camp #1966 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, among others, and the guard will be commanded by General Robert E. Lee. Ricky Allred will lead a walk thru the cemetery and will “visit” with a number of the Confederate (and even one Union) veterans who rest in the Cemetery. In contrast to recent years, this will be a walking program and NO CHAIRS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

The Walk begins at 10:00 a.m. at the Old Asheboro Cemetery, located on West Salisbury Street at White Oak Street. For the safety and enjoyment of all, we ask that you please DO NOT bring vehicles into the Cemetery property. There are a number of parking lots in the area in which space should available.
